Chapter 2: What I Have Inside Me Is…


"What are humans? For what reason were we born? Humans, animals, insects, Noumus…What is our purpose in this world? What do I have inside me?"

Tomoko's mind reels back from Naruto's questions as they stare at each other, Tomoko can see that he was very serious and she wet her lips nervously. "O-Oh, wow…" She coughed, "These are very big and there are a few pretty heavy questions, I don't know where to start with." Tomoko took a deep breath, "Well…Um, I don't know how to explain…I honestly don't know what we all are born for because everybody have different answers to that one…Some will say that we are a part of something greater plan, other will say that we are here to live our life to fullest, and other things…"

"And what is your answer to this question?" Naruto tilted his head.

"…I think the reason why I am here is because I can help the others with my quirk like a hero." Tomoko scratched her cheek unsurely, "That's all I can come up with right now…" She looked at him, "H-Hey, why did you involve Noumus in your question? I mean, they're…"

"Because I am a Noumu." The boy replied, "I was created by my creator to be a living weapon."

"…W-Wait, you're a Noumu?" She blinked confusingly, "But you don't have exposed brain like others…And how can you speak when the other don't?" She knows about Noumus, due to her job.

"That I do not know." Naruto just answered, "Salad told me we are different from them because we have 'something' in us and they are empty shells."

"Salad?" Tomoko raised her eyebrow and she was about to say something but the boy cut her off.

"What is hero?" The boy asked, "Why do humans protect each other?"

"…Because it's the right thing." Tomoko answered, "As a hero, we will do whatever to help the helpless people in any situation without asking for anything in return. The reason why I become a hero is because of All Might…He always does everything to protect everyone and take any enemies on, no matter how many there are and he did it all with a smile…" She lifts the corner of her mouth with her fingers, making a large smile. "He once said that everybody can be a hero because there are no useless quirks and it make me so proud to have my own quirk…With Search, I can aid my fellow heroes to rescue anyone in certain situation and point out the weaknesses if we met a villain stronger than us…"

"Why?" Naruto said, "I was told that it is the survival of stronger and weaklings are weeded out because they are useless in this world."

"No, that is wrong!" Tomoko shoot up on her feet, "I don't know whoever told you about this world but this person is wrong! No one in this world is weak or useless! That concept is wrong and it should be ridded!"

"…No one is useless?" The boy looked down before he glances back up, "Even insects?"

"Yes!" Tomoko replied, wondering why he said that. "They also have a purpose to exist in this world!"

"…That is correct." Naruto nodded, "If it was not for the insects, the world will end because without them, there will be no plants or foods for the animals to survive and without animals, humans will not survive."

"E-Eh?!" She blinked confusingly, what she doesn't know is that he just got it from a book.

"If the concept is wrong then why do villains exist?" He asked, "They are humans who attack each other…Does that contradict with your answer?"

"No and yes…Because they want to abuse their power for their sinister purpose." Tomoko frowned, "I can admit that there are some evil humans in the world and they will do anything to get what they want…But that is why we, the heroes, exist so we can fight them to protect the innocents and bring them to the justice."

'Ah, same like her.' Naruto blinked as he remembered Itsuka, "…I see…But you still don't answer my question. What is my purpose in this world?" Tomoko blinked at him as he looked at his hands, "I am a Noumu but for some reason…I ignore the orders from my creator and his allies. I was told that the Noumus have a duty to listen to these orders because we are a living weapon…But…" He looked up to her, "I think that is wrong. I was not born to do that…" His hand clenched onto his chest, "That is what 'it' tell me…But I do not understand…In the books, I learn that every living things have an important role but there is nothing about us…" His body trembles, "Again, what is my purpose?! What am I needed for in this world?! Why do I think of that? Why am I useless?! Why cannot I follow the orders like other?! What is wrong with me?!"

"You…" Tomoko's eyes widened as she realize something, "Naruto, that 'something' inside you…I think I know why you can't do what other Noumus do is because…You're you. You are your own person and you can do whatever you want to do or to be…"

"I do not understand!" Naruto clutched his head, "I do not understand!"

"Of course, you don't because you're young…" She suddenly hugged his head to her chest as he frozen up at the contact, "It's okay to not able to understand anything because it's the adult's job to guild you along. Someday you will find your own answer and it will take a while, you don't have to rush it…" She break them apart as she give him a beaming grin, "So don't worry your head off and just smile!" Naruto stare at her with widened eyes and she was about to say something but her vision went white all of sudden.


"U-Ugh…" Tomoko's eyes fluttered open and the first thing she saw was a face of a bizarre creature in her face.

"Hello, I am…" Salad smiled widely, only to get punch in face from the screaming woman.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Tomoko screamed at the wailing creature as it hold its face.

"Salad Udon is a Noumu like me." A familiar voice spoke and she turn around to see the boy from her dream…No, he said it was her mindscape.

"Naruto, did you get all answers you want?" Salad Udon appear at his side with a smile as if it doesn't get hit by the woman a while ago.

"Yes and no." Naruto answered, "But I am satisfied with the answers I received."

"That's great!" Salad smiled happily and it was about to say something but they sense a malevolent presence. "AH, HE'S HERE!" The creature flees to hide itself.

"W-Who?" Tomoko asked shakily as she tried to not throw up from the heavy atmosphere, how can this person have so much…malevolent?!

"My creator." The boy answered blankly, "All For One. He comes here to take your quirk away."

"M-My quirk?!" She gasped in horror, "N-No! W-What will happen to me if…"

"You will slip into a coma and become one of us." Naruto gestured at the metallic crate, "That is how the Noumus are born…"

"N-No, you have to do something!" Tomoko cried out worriedly before she hears a deep raspy voice.

"Ah, I see our guest is awake now." She turned around to see a person in black suit with some kind of large black mask, "Oh?" Sensei cupped his chin as soon as he saw his soon-to-be victim, "My, my, that is so unexpected…" He chuckled to himself darkly.

"W-What?!" Tomoko scowled angrily as she tried to get up, only to realize that she have been tied down to the table.

"Nothing, it's just fun that out of all pro heroes, he bring you here." Sensei said as he emphasized on 'you', "I wonder if he have introduced himself to you? No?" She kept stared at him angrily as he walked to Naruto's side before he gesture at the boy, "Meet Naruto, he is a very unique Noumu for many reasons…Would you like to know why I name him Naruto or why he have this birthmarks?" He adjusted his tie, "To tell you the truth…I don't name him in first place, it was already given by someone…" He leaned his head in to her closer, "A very dear mother who were expecting for her first child!"

"Wha…" Tomoko's eyes widened. No, it can't be…

"But unfortunately for her, she has a miscarriage just eight months in after a tragedy accident." Sensei stood straight up as he placed his hand on Naruto's shoulders with a shaking head.

No, no, no, no!

"Then the last relative of her bring a stillborn to me, begging me to do something…" Sensei waved his left hand, "So I decide to do a good deed by bringing the stillborn alive in exchange for his quirk and turn him into one of the Noumus…Which he gladly accept!"

It has to be a lie! IT'S GOTTA BE A LIE!

"And the life somehow has found a way to arrange a lovely reunion between the mother and her son for the first time…" Sensei leaned his head closer to Naruto like a proud parent with a cruel chuckle, "Say hello to your dear boy, Shiretoko Naruto!"

"Y-Y-YOU BASTARD!" Tomoko wailed out, trying to writhe herself out of her bound.

"I would like to keep the lovely family reunion going on." Sensei grabbed the shouting woman's head, "But I'm afraid that I must cut it short because we have many things to do! Good-bye and good night!" Tomoko give out a cry before she passes out as the villain stole her quirk and he turn to Naruto. "Naruto, would you be kind enough to bring her to the empty vessel before I start 'grant' her new quirks?" The boy wordlessly obeys him and All For One chuckled cruelly, finding a twisted pleasure in the whole thing.


Naruto carry the woman in his arms toward several empty crates and he stare at them before his eyes fixated onto the crate near the warehouse's door. He walk over to this crate, placing the woman inside and he stare at it for a while before he did something unexpected…He hide the crate by pushing it to the opposite side and place it in a opening place where anyone can find it if someone come by, all without his creator's knowledge. The boy walks away without looking back at the crate and he don't know why he did it, neither why this woman act out a few moments ago.


Two days later at night, Naruto remain at the warehouse as Salad Udon hide itself, due to its fear for their creator who was still in the building with them, and he can hear his creator speaking to Tomura through the monitor. Naruto quietly glance at a certain crate in the distance, his creator haven't notice anything at all because he was too focused with something else and his eyes wander from one object to other object until he spot something outside the nearby window. There was a mop of green hair and red spike and the boy tilt his head before something happen in a blur. A giant hand smash into the building with the truck, following by a giant foot and three pro heroes enter the building as they quickly collect the unmoving Noumus. "Ragdoll!" Tiger discovered the unconscious woman in the nearby crate and he pulls her out into his arms.

"A Noumu storehouse…" Best Jeanist spoke into his earpiece as the strings of his clothes stretch out to tie up the rest of Noumus, "Suppression complete."

'How did they found this place?' Salad Udon peeked out of its hiding place and its eyes glance at Naruto as the boy stand in the back of the warehouse while their creator step out at his side before the creature duck back in to avoid All For One's line of sight.

"Mission?" Naruto looked up at his creator, who just raises his hand up with a small headshake.

"Not yet." All For One whispered softly.

"Oh woooow…" Mount Lady groaned in disgust as she held a handful of Noumus, "These things are actually alive? Does having this easy of a job sit well with you, Jeanist? Shouldn't we have gone with All Might?"

"Let's not conflate the degree of difficulty of what we're doing with its importance, rookie." Best Jeanist replied before he glance at the cops, "Riot squad, come and hold position! There might still be more of them around here. We're counting on you."

"RAGDOLL!" Tiger looked at the said woman worriedly, "Say something!"

"Is she your teammate?" Gang Orca checked on them, "She's breathing! Thank goodness."

"But…" Tiger frowned worriedly, "Something about her is off…What did they do to you, Ragdoll?!"

"I'm sorry, Tiger…" All For One walked with Naruto as he chuckled darkly, "I thought she had a useful quirk long ago…Since the opportunity fell into my lap, I decided to take it…"

"Stop right there!" Orca barked, "Don't move!" He brought his hand down with a snort, "Another member of the league, huh?"

"Someone, shine some light!" Tiger shouted back to the police with a scowl.

"Ever since my body became like this, my stock has fallen quite a bit." The villain continued speaking as his shoe step out into the light before Jeanist use his quirk to confine the villain's suit. Mount Lady was about to warn Jeanist before Best Jeanist suddenly use his quirk to pull everyone out as soon as his gut scream out to him for some reason and he listened to it, just in time before everything explode. "Just when Tomura was starting to think for himself…" All For One floated in air with a clicking tongue, "And beginning to lead others by himself…If possible, I'd like for you all to stop interfering." He floated back down with a sigh, "Well then…Let's get it over with." He walks over to a certain hero slowly with a slow clap, "As expected of number four, Best Jeanist!" He glanced at Naruto before he turns back to the pro hero, "I was trying to blast everybody away! But in an instant, you controlled everyone's clothes and pulled them out of the way! Your judgment…Technique…You've got nerves of steel!"

"T-T-This guy…" Jeanist whispered shakily as his eye fixated onto the villain, noticing a boy behind him. He push himself up with his quirk as he think back to the meeting and the warning about a powerful ringleader, '…So what?! Top heroes…Won't be defeated…By the likes of y…" All of sudden, he feel an overwhelming pain in his stomach and he realize that he have been stabbed in gut by something.

"The strength that you possess is the result of considerable training and practical experience…" All For One hummed, "Yours…I don't need yours. And I see no point of granting that to Naruto here." He gestured at the boy, "Your quirk…Doesn't suit Tomura's personality." He used his other quirk, producing black liquids in air.

"Ugh, smell like shit…" A voice coughed out as a black liquid spit something out, revealing to be Bakugou. "The hell is this?!"

"I'm sorry, Bakugou." All For One replied as the members of villain's alliance popped out into the clearing before his head turn to Tomura, "You've failed again, huh, Tomura? But you absolutely cannot get discouraged. All you need to do is try again. I brought your comrades back for you. And this boy too…" He gestured at Bakugou as the exploding boy scowled at them, "Because you deemed him to be an 'important piece'. Try as many times as you'd like. That's why I'm here." He held his hand out to Tomura, "Everything is for your sake."

"…Ah." Naruto spot a small dot in the sky and his creator chuckled softly as his Search quirk warned him.

"It looks like he's coming after all…" All For One smirked behind his mask before he caught All Might's fists with his hands.

"I'M GONNA MAKE YOU GIVE EVERYTHING BACK, ALL FOR ONE!" All Might declared.

"You're going to kill me again, All Might?" The villain mocked as the shockwave knocked everything away from them, "You sure took your time getting here, didn't you?" His opponent jumped back, "The bar isn't more than five kilometers away from here…It took well over thirty seconds after I sent the Noumus for you to arrive…You've gone soft, huh, All Might?"

"You're one to talk." All Might shoot back, "What's the deal with that industrial mask you've got on?! Don't you think you're trying a little too hard?!" He brushed some dusts off his pant, "I won't make the same mistake I made five years ago, All For One." He charged forward, "I'm going to take back young Bakugou! And this time around, you're getting locked away for good! Your league of villains puppets too!"

"That won't do…" All For One brought his right arm up, "There's so much for us to do…How difficult…For both of us." His arm swollen up before the air burst out, blowing everything and everyone away. "Atmospheric compression plus locomotive corkscrew, explosiveness time four, muscular enhancement time three." He flexed his hand with a chuckle, "This combo is pretty fun…Maybe I'll collect some more more augmentation class ones…" He glanced behind at Naruto, "Don't you agreed with me?" The boy merely nod.

"All Might!" Bakugou shouted out.

"No need to worry." The villain spoke, "He won't die from something like that. In this case…" He turned his head to his pupil, "Get out of here, Tomura. And bring the kid with you." A black needle stretch out of his right hand as it jab into Kurogiri's body to force his wrap quirk to active, "Kurogiri, get everyone out of here." He glanced at the blonde boy, "Naruto, you stay and be a good tool for me." He has to use this Noumu for the quirks and it will give him some upper hand for the battle.

"I understand." Naruto nodded again, ignoring Magne's question and his creator's explanation.

"Teacher…" Tomura hissed with plead before something shot out of the ruins in the distance and All Might charge toward All For One with a battle cry.

"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY!" All Might roared.

"Naruto, go." All For One snapped his fingers as the boy took off to hinder the pro hero before he glance back to Tomura, "I want you to remember, Tomura. You can still grow so much more…"

"Target sighted." Naruto charged toward the charging pro hero before he throws a punch at All Might and their fists meet with an explosive clash.

'This boy!' All Might gritted his teeth as he send the boy flying away, he just hold his power back slightly because he remembered the incident at USJ. His narrowed eyes turn sharply to All For One, "LET THIS BOY GO! YOU ARE FORCING HIM INTO THIS, AREN'T YOU?!"

"I won't call him a boy if I were you." All For One threw a punch at All Might as the pro hero blocked it, "Because he's a Noumu, a very special one! And I'm gonna use this as my advantage because I know you have a soft spot for young kids!"

"Noumu?!" All Might's eyes widened and he notice several villains were chasing Bakugou down and he was about to rush over to them before the boy blindsided him with a tackle to his stomach by using a large thin pillar like a battering ram, sending him flying away into the rubbles.

"Thank you, Naruto." The villain smirked evilly before he sends the gust of wind at All Might, "You're getting more useful as a living weapon, my creation." He jabbed his thumb at the damaged building behind him, "Now take care of our little gawkers."

'Innocents?!' All Might's eyes widened behind his arms, 'NO! THAT CAN'T BE GOOD, I CAN'T…"

"No." Naruto said to his creator and All Might's surprise, "I refuse."

"Oh?" All For One frowned, "Are you defying…" All of sudden, a ramp of ice appeared out of nowhere in the distance and three kids skied off it at high speed as All For One look up, only to receive a backhand from All Might. The kids grab Bakugou during their soaring and they rush off in the distance. "NARUTO, STOP THEM!" Again, Naruto disobey him by attacking All Might with his claw and the pro hero throw the Noumu away with his strength.

'Why did he do that?' All Might thought with his eyes on them as the other pro heroes did their best to protect the Yuuei students in their conditions while they force the villains to retreat against Tomura's protesting and they didn't even notice a hovering news helicopter above them in a safe distance. 'What does that…' Something force into his mind with a headache.

Because they are innocent and there is no point in going after them. That is what 'it' tell me.

"Where did you come up with that, Naruto?!" All For One shouted out furiously and All Might realize the message was from the blonde boy. "Who the hell put this idea in you?!"

"…I do not know." Naruto lied and his creator knows it.

"…Ah, I see…" All For One frowned angrily, "Of course, I should have get rid of you since the first day because you're a defective…Minus Ultra!" Naruto's face suddenly starts to peeling off at alarming speed, "If you want to live, then kill All Might!"

"YOU!" All Might charged toward All For One with a right hook as Gran Torino backed him up, only to clash into each other after the villain used his wrap quirk. Gran Torino attempt to give All Might support again, only to receive a kick to face from Naruto and the disintegrating Noumu turn his left eye to All Might as the hero clash with All For One again.

"After all…" All For One blasted All Might away into Naruto as the boy ram his grey left fist into the hero's back while his right arm become a skeleton, "I despise you. In the past, that fist of yours brought down my comrades, one by one…And yet you were celebrated as the symbol of peace."

What is Symbol of Peace?

Naruto projected his thought out but it went ignored by them as he place his skeleton hand on All For One's body, healing him in process. "Standing a top society, on the bodies of those sacrificed to get there…" His creator mocked All Might as he tried to blast him away again, "The view must be nice from up there, huh?!"

"DETROIT SMASH!" All Might cancelled the blast out with his move.

"Sorry, but I'm not going to let you fight without holding back!" The villain shouted out as Naruto fired his Gatling gun at All Might, which the hero just dodged by jump back. "Heroes…They're gathered a lot of them, huh…" He referenced to the ruins around them, A lot of things to protect."

"SHUT UP!" All Might grabbed the villian's arms in a deep grip, "That's exactly how you play with people like they're toys, you scum! Destruction! Theft! Exploitation! Manipulation! The people of the world just trying to live day to day!" Naruto tilt his head at the hero as his upper body lost most of his skin and muscles, "You laugh at them, scorn their hardship! Those are things that I cannot…" He buried his fist into All For One's chest down against the ground, "FORGIVE!

'…Trying to live day to day?' Naruto's left eye blink as the right eye disappear within the empty socket, 'Same like this pro hero…' He barely pay attention to their conversation as several memories went through his head while he try to understand everything.


"There are things that we don't understand but that are just how it is!" Jirou snarled, "After all, you and I are human! We're all humans, you psycho!"


'But I am a Noumu, not a human…' He looks at his peeling left hand, 'I am the living weapon…But is that what I want?'


"You need a creed." Stain hissed with his blades at Tomura's neck.


'My creed…My purpose…' His right leg break down into a skeleton leg, 'To obey my creator…But I do not wish to obey him anymore…Why?'


"'Something' is in us." Salad smiled, "We're different from the other Noumus…How should I say it…They're like empty shells. But you and I have a thing in us."


"…You and I have something inside us." The creature repeated, "Something that make us alive! Like the living beings, humans!"

"Alive?" Naruto said flatly, "But we are living weapons, a tool for the creator and his allies…"

"No, we are not weapons or tools!" The creature waved its arms wildly, "You and I are different from them…" Its point at the crate again, "We can think, we can speak, we have 'it' in us, we can feel it!"


'Is that why?' Naruto placed his good hand on his ribcage, 'That 'something' inside me…Was it the reason why I act different?'


Naruto's eyes flicked red as he stare at Mustard with a snarl, the memory of Jirou's paled face appeared in his head.


'What is it?' He wonders before his eye widened at the memory.


"You…" Tomoko's eyes widened as she realize something, "Naruto, that 'something' inside you…I think I know why you can't do what other Noumus do is because…You're you. You are your own person and you can do whatever you want to do or to be…"

"I do not understand!" Naruto clutched his head, "I do not understand!"

"Of course, you don't because you're young…" She suddenly hugged his head to her chest as he frozen up at the contact, "It's okay to not able to understand anything because it's the adult's job to guild you along. Someday you will find your own answer and it will take a while, you don't have to rush it…" She break them apart as she give him a beaming grin, "So don't worry your head off and just smile!" Naruto stare at her with widened eyes.


'Ah, I understand it now…' Naruto slowly bring his left hand down as the battle raging on without his knowledge, 'What I have is…'

"Should you be dodging, I wonder?" All For One smirked cruelly as he aimed his swollen arm at All Might and the hero realize there was a innocent behind him, trapping under the rubble. "I will take away that which you have worked to protect!"

'What I have is…' The villain feels a hand on his back and he feels a certain quirk vanish, to his shock, as soon as he blast out.

"Wha…" All For One uttered as the smoke cleared in front of him to reveal a giant shield in front of him.

"What I have is the 'heart'." Naruto stood in front of All Might and a woman with his weapon arm: Shield out as his body suddenly stop breaking down. "Something inside me is 'soul'."

"You…" All Might uttered, his true form has been revealed to the world but all he can think is this Noumu's action. "Why?"

"Because that is the right thing to do and that is what I want." Naruto replied and he cancels his weapon arm quirk as his body suddenly repaired itself.

'How can that be?! The command quirk don't work?!' All For One's teeth gritted but the most important thing is…This boy somehow stole the search quirk from him…He'll deal with him later as soon as he notice All Might's true form have been exposed to the world, thank to the news helicopter. "Well, take a good look at your symbol of peace! Those hollow cheeks! Those sunken eyes! A pitiful excuse for a top her if I've ever seen one. But don't be ashamed. That is your true form after all, isn't it?!"

"…Though my body may rot away and decline…And the world sees me in this condition…" All Might stepped in front of Naruto with clenched fist, "My spirit remains…I am still the symbol of peace! And there is nothing you can do to take away even a fragment of that from me!"

"Magnificent!" The villain chortled, "You got me. I had forgotten how much of a stubborn little child you were." He lift his index finger up, "In that case, I hope that this does not hinder that spirit of yours…I've got something to tell you…Shigaraki Tomura is Shimura Nana's grandchild." His revelation draw out a shocked react out of All Might, "All this time, I've been thinking about how much that fact would disturb you. I created the opportunity for you and Tomura to meet, and you beat him into submission, didn't you? Without knowing a thing, all the while shining that triumphant smile of yours."

"You're lying…" All Might said shakily.

"It's the true." All For One replied, "This is the kind of thing I would do." He corked his head, "Huh…That's weird, All Might. What happened to that smile of yours?"

"Y-You…" All Might's body shaken, "You scum!"

"Just as…" The villain chuckled evilly before a snake arm hit the side of his face.

"DON'T LISTEN TO THIS VILLAIN!" Salad Udon shouted at the sideline as the creature stretch its arm back from the villain. "BAD GUY ALWAYS LIE TO YOU ALL THE TIME, DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM!"

'This creature…' All For One scowled, 'I thought I got rid of this thing long time ago!'

"Don't lose…" A voice whined behind All Might and the pro hero glance over his shoulder to see the crying woman under the rubble. "All Might, please! HELP!" It seems to give him something as his right arm swollen up.

"Of course, young lady!" All Might smiled bloodily, "You're right, All For One. There's so much…So much we heroes have to protect! And that's why. We don't lose!"

"And I..." Naruto touched All Might's back with his right hand before he absorbs the hero's recent wounds into his body, "Will support you with everything I get."

"Thank." All Might glanced at him before his eyes shifted back to floating All For One as he ramble on, "But I have to ask you to stay out of this one…" Naruto was about to say something but the fire shoot out at the villain before it was swat away.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THAT APPEARANCE, ALL MIGHT?!" Endeavor roared.

'Ah…' Naruto spot Tiger with Ragdoll in his arms as the pro hero help the trapped woman out while the other heroes appeared to help All Might out and he was at their side with his hand on Tomoko's chest before they know it. "Transfer complete." A light shined under his hand.

"Wha…" Tiger's head jerked to him, "What are you do…"

"Ugh…" Tomoko's eyes fluttered open and she look up at them exhaustedly, she barely realize that her quirk was back at full force.

"RAGDOLL!" Tiger gasped, "Are you okay?!"

"Tiger…" Tomoko's eyes flicked to Naruto and she reach out to him shakily but Naruto vanish to All Might's side. "W-Wait, Naruto!" Her cry went unheard by the boy.

"How troublesome!" All For One unleashed a powerful shockwave as soon as Gran Torino finished giving All Might a pep talk, "Enough with the sentimental talk! Let's talk reality!" He multiplied many quirks into his right arm, transforming into a giant mutated arm and he summon a tail from his back, transforming it into a mutated scorpion-like tail that move like a snake and the stinger appear to be a blade. "I will strike you down!" His tail snake out to pierce All Might in order to give himself an advantage while he flew toward him with his giant arm up in air.

'I gotta put everything into my right arm but my left side will be open…' All Might channel his strength into his right arm.

"Not anymore." Naruto's voice spoke and before anyone know it, Naruto took the blow from the tail as it pierce through his chest before he hold it down with his arms.

"NO!" Tomoko screamed out in horror with the others.

"DAMN YOU!" All For One roared out angrily at the loss of his advantage.

"T-That boy, why?" Gran widened his eyes.

"I-I-I can hear them…" Naruto dragged All For One back to buy All Might some time, "The humans that wish for his victory. I told All Might that I will support him to the end…Because I want to…" He jammed his feet into the ground as soon as All For One attempted to pull him in, "TO PROTECT HUMANS LIKE A HERO! NOT AS A LIVING WEAPON! NOT AS A NOUMU! BUT AS MYSELF!" He suddenly swung the villain around before he swings him toward, "BECAUSE I AM ME!"


"That's right…" Salad whispered in the distance, "That 'something' inside us is…Free-will. That is why we both are different from the other...And no one can take that away from me, not even All For One who tried to snuff it out from the first day you were born, Naruto…Because you were meant to be something greater enough to lead us to our place in this world."


'No one should have done what you just done…' All Might corked his fist back as All For One fling toward him, 'I won't let your sacrifice end in vain…Thank you, my boy!' "This is farewell, All For One!"

No, it would be me who should thank you, humans…For give me the answer.

The corners of his mouth slowly lift up into a soft smile, it was the first time Naruto have smiled since he was born.

Thank you.

"UNITED STATES OF SMASH!" All Might crushed All For One into the ground with a very powerful shockwave that went on for miles and he sluggishly rise his right fist up in victory, signaling the end of battle to the world.

"Naruto!" Tomoko ran across the battlefield to the lying boy on her wobbly legs, ignoring her teammate's holler before she kneel at his side as she cradles his head onto her laps. "N-Naruto…" The boy's eyes were closed and there was so much blood everywhere, courtesy of the gaping hole in his chest, where his heart should be in. "N…No…" She whispered with tears in her eyes, "Not again…No, no, no, not again!" She wailed out, "I-I just got you back…W-W-Why do I have to lose you again! It's not fair! NARUTO!"

"Ragdoll…" Tiger whispered softly, he don't know what was going on but he hate to see his good friend like that. All Might walk up to them sadly after he called out to someone on the camera as he looks at Naruto's face and he was about to say something to Ragdoll but…

"Ah, have you defeated him?" The three heroes jolted as Naruto stare at them from Tomoko's laps as if he didn't have a life-threatening wound in his chest and they stare at him with widened eyes. "Did you get your victory for the humans?"

"Y-Y-Yes…" All Might can't help but to answer, "…B-But I thought you died…"

"Ah, I have regeneration quirk…" Naruto sat up as the hole in his chest slowly close up, "Thank to my true quirk."

"T-True quirk?" All Might muttered and Naruto was about to say something but Tomoko suddenly pulled him in a tight hug.

"Naruto! Don't you do that again!" Tomoko buried her face on top of Naruto's head with a sob, much to his confusion. "I-I-I thought I lose you again…I'm so sorry, my baby, I'm so sorry! You must have a lot of hard time…"

'…' All Might rubbed the back of his neck before he glance at the police as they walk toward them, most likely to arrest Naruto for his involvement with the villain's alliance, and his eyes flick back to Naruto. '…I feel sorry for him, he has to go to juvenile detention center…Until…' He get an idea and he hope this one won't bite his ass in a long run.


For the next several days, the society were in chaos for many reasons…First was the revelation of All Might's true form and his retirement from the heroic career, due to his old injury and loss of his quirk. Second was the reformation of police system after they realize how much they have been slacking off lately. And the third and final was Naruto, everything was not made public because of his status and the government was not sure what to do with him until they made a decision in secret after they spoke to several certain figures.


"First of all, class 1-A…" Aizawa stood in front of the new dorm building within Yuuei academy as his students take in the sight of the new building, it have been about a couple weeks or so after the great battle. "What's more important than anything is that you all have gathered together again safely."

"Same goes for you, sensei!" Tsuyu said as several classmates of her talk to each other, "I'm just relieved that you made it back here with us too. After watching that interview, I thought you might not be able to come back. I was really sad…" Some agreed with her.

"It's surprising to me as well." Aizawa admitted, "Well…A hell of a lot happened. That's for sure." He clapped his hands together, "Now then…! I'm going to give you all a quick briefing in regards to the dorms. But before that, just one thing…" He started to explain things about hero licenses and he start to call out five certain students about their decision at the battle between All Might and All For One.


Nedzu stare at the new dorm from his office as he think about the spy and it make him think back to this event.


Nedzu stand in front of Naruto as he quietly sits in the cell, it has been a couple days after his arrest at the great battle and the creature clears his throat. "Naruto, can I ask you something? Will you answer me honestly?"

"Yes, I will answer to your question as best as I can." Naruto nodded blankly.

"…Who is the traitor among our rank?" Nedzu asked, "Who is the one that leak everything about the locations of our students to the villain's alliance?"

"…I do not know." The blonde boy answered, "Only Tomura, Kurogiri and my creator know. They receive their information in secret."

"Is that so?" Nedzu frowned.

"Yes, I do not know." Naruto nodded.

"…Thank you for your time." Nedzu walked away with a sigh, he was hoping to find the traitor right away.


'Whoever the spy is, we have to find this person right away for our students' safety.' Nedzu stared at the sky, 'We must direct our students to a bright, hopeful future…Even him…'


"It's one class per building." Aizawa led his students into the dorm's common space as he explained, "Boys and girls are separated by wing. The right wing is for the girls, and the boys' wing is on the left. However, the first floor is common space The dining area, baths, and laundry facilities can be found here."

"It's spacious!" Ashido pumped her hands, "It's pretty! It's spaciously pretty! And there's sofa!"

"There's even a courtyard!" Sero looked outside while his classmates looked around.

"It's a freakin' mansion…" Uraraka nearly fainted.

"And next is…" Aizawa was about to walk away but they hear a voice and they turn around to see a familiar face peeking out of the dining room.

"Oh, Aizawa, when did you get here?" Tomoko grinned before her eyes flick to the students, "Oh, and you're all here so early!"

"Hello, Ragdoll." Aizawa muttered dully.

"Ah, Ragdoll!" Izuku gasped out, "Are you okay? I mean, you were caught by…"

"I'm hundred perfect fine since I got my quirk back." Tomoko giggled hyperactively, "And call me Shiretoko, I'm off duty!"

"That's good to hear but I have to ask…" Tsuyu blinked with finger on her chin, "Why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm just helping my son settle in and we're having lunch." Tomoko smiled giddily before she pout childishly, "But he still don't call me mommy."

"…W-Wait, son?!" No one knows who said it but they all were surprised with the new info.

"Musuko, come here and introduce yourself to them!" Tomoko beckoning in the kitchen with her hand and the students watch on as a familiar person walk out to their shock and horror.

"Hello, it is nice to meet you." Naruto stared at the shocked students, "My name is Shiretoko Naruto."

"A-A-Aizawa-sensei, t-t-t-this guy…" Momo pointed at Naruto with shakily finger.

"Due to some circumstances, Naruto will be placed in Yuuei academy where the pro heroes can keep their eyes on him while he learn to reform himself and they agreed that he should be place under my watch, due to my quirk." Aizawa said lazily, "Class, meet your new classmate and he will start tomorrow."

"Yes, I will start tomorrow morning and I look forward to it." Naruto nodded and some students feel a little creepied out by his lack of expression.

"I know you guys have run into each other more than once when he was…Um…" Tomoko scratched her cheek before she bow down as she forced her puzzled son down, "We are sorry! Please do not blame Naruto for everything! I know you guys won't have easy time with it but I hope that you all will forgive my son, if it will take years." The students become uncomfortable with it because they don't know what to say or do now until…

"Oh, are they the students that will live here from now on?" Several students jumped in air with a scream as Salad Udon suddenly appeared behind them with a wide smile, "Hello, my name is Salad Udon!" The creature shakes everyone's hands with its snake arms, "Nice to meet you, humans! I hope we will get along with each other!"

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" Mineta screamed out and the creature stares at him blankly.

"…I'M SALAD UDON!" The creature shouted back.

"And that is our new janitor." Aizawa jabbed his thumb at the creature as he ignored the commotion, "He…She…Hey!" He shouted out to stop them, "…Male or female?"

"...I'm a male." Salad Udon answered, "It's really oblivious if you look at my body!"

"…" Everybody looked him up and down and they can't even see anything that point to his gender.

"Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna wash my socks." Salad waved at them cheerfully as he walks toward the laundry room.

"…Who the fuck name their kid Salad Udon?!" Bakugou finally shouted out.

"Ah, I did." Naruto raised his hand up as they looked at him, "He have no name because he is a Noumu and he want one so I give him one."

"…Moving on." Aizawa called out to his students in attempt to stop the madness, "Let me show you other floors."

"…Okay, I think that went well for now…" Tomoko looked at her son as the students followed their teacher after they glance at the boy with different looks, mostly nervous. "Come here…" She moved to the sofa and she pat the seat next to her as the boy took his seat. "…You know why you are here, right?" Naruto nodded, "Good…Um…Oh, I really don't know what to say..." She looked into his eyes, "I want you to do your best in school, be a good student…I want you to promise to call me everyday and I will pick you up every free day." She hugged him as she pecked his forehead, "I love you, my musuko."

"I promise." Naruto hugged back with confusion before he listen to her again as she tried her best to talk to him but it was hard for her.


"Bye, I'll see you on Sunday, Naruto!" Tomoko waved her hand at her son wildly out of the taxi as the car drive away from the school's gate and Naruto just raise his hand at her blankly. He walks back to the gate until something in an alleyway catches his attention and he walk over to see two boxes and inside them was…


It was nighttime and the students suddenly decide to have a room showcasing completion, some notice that the blonde Noumu was not present but they were fine with it since they don't know how to act around him, due to their past. "Yum, that was so sweet!" Tooru skipped out of Satou's room with her classmates after they ate his cake before she notice an ajar door at the end of the hallway, "Ah, there is one more room to look in!"

"Whose room is it?" Ojiro asked curiously as the invisible girl run into the room excitingly.

"We just saw every boy's room expect for Bakugou and…" Jirou muttered before her eyes widened, "H-Hey, wait!"

"NARUTO!" Tooru's voice shouted out, "KYAAAH!"

"TOORU!" The musician ran to the room with her classmates to protect their classmate from the villain, 'I know he was up to something!' She slammed the door open wide before they look at a sight…

"SO CUTE!" Tooru held a white kitten up in air and Naruto was sitting on the floor with his legs sprawling out as the kittens and puppies gather around him. The confusing Noumu just stare at the invisible girl as he turn his eyes to the Yuuei students and he stare at Jirou a bit longer before he look down at the animals. There were seven kittens and five puppies, all different breeds. "I don't know you have pets!" The invisible girl cuddled with the kitten.

"Pet?" Naruto looked up to her.

"Did you get them from your mother?" Aoyama looked over them as he entered the room daringly, "I never peg you or your mother to be a dog person."

"Ah, no." The Noumu pet the husky puppy's head as the other puppies lick his hands while several kittens curled up to his side, "I found them outside in boxes." He glanced at the old cardboard boxes, "So I bring them in."

"…A villain taking in sprays…" Iida adjusted his glasses in disbelief.

"Former!" Aoyama corrected his class president, "Naruto is reforming himself, remember? His heart is dazzling so much that he is no longer a villain since day one! That's why he never go all out to kill anyone and always help us out."

"Oh, right!" Tooru gasped out before she looks down at Naruto, "I never get a chance to thank you for help me out during the attack at resort. You were the one who healed me and Jirou from the poison, right?"

"Yes, that is correct." Naruto merely nodded.

"Thank!" Tooru grinned, "I owe you one!"

"Wait, he helped you two out?" Kirishima glanced at Jirou with a blink, he didn't hear about that.

"…Yeah, we were poisoned by gas and Aoyama said he healed us for no reason." Jirou said bitterly, she still doesn't trust this guy at all and it piss her off that she has to live in the same building with this psycho.

"Your room is very spartan." Toyoyami can't help but look around his room out of curiously, there was not a lot of things in Naruto's room but bed and desk with chair. They can see some books lying haphazardly on the desk but there was one thing that stand out the most, it was a large poster of Ragdoll on the wall with words that read, 'I'm your mommy!' "…I-I-I guess she was the one who give you that, right?" Naruto nodded at him, "Hmm, I wonder why she adopted you."

"She does not adopt me." Naruto answered, "She was pregnant with me."

"…Wait, Ragdoll lost a child." Izuku blinked confusingly as he remembered the articles from past, "There was an accident that caused her to miscarried."

"Yes, I died a stillborn." The Noumu replied, not caring if it was too heavy info for them to learn. "That was until my creator makes me alive as a Noumu." He looked up at them, "I am her real son but…I do not know what are mother and son." No one knows what to say as the boy stare at them while the little animals keep moving around.


The next morning, Naruto stand in front of the class with Aizawa at his side and he wear the school's uniform. "As I mentioned yesterday, you have a new classmate and he will start today. Please get along with him and try your best not to freak out all over his past." Aizawa gestured at the said boy before he look at him as he pointed at the empty desk in the back corner of the classroom, "Naruto, your desk is over there." The boy walks over to the desk, "We will start working on your uniform after I give the class their lesson and you have to come up with a codename as a hero…Well then…Our first objective will be earning 'provisional hero licenses' for you all. A hero license, in essence, grants you permission to directly intervene when peoples' lives are at stake. This qualification carries an immense weight. And this goes without saying, but the examination required to earn license is extremely strict. It is a provisional license, but even having said that the pass rate of this exam, year to year, is less than five percent."

"J-Just for a provisional license, it's that tough?!" Mineta stammered.

"And that is why, from today onwards, we'll be having each of you come up with at least two of…" Aizawa snapped his fingers as the teachers entered the classroom, "Your very own special moves!"

"Finally, we're leaving the normal school-like stuff behind and moving on to the hero-like stuff!" The class cheered, "Awwriiiight!" Naruto glance at them with tilted head and he barely hear the teachers' explanation about the special move.

"We'll go into the specifics with you all shortly with live exercises." Aizawa called out, "Go change into your costumes. We'll meet at Gamma Gym."

"Where?" Naruto raised his hand with a blank expression.

"…Someone have to take him there." The teacher said after he realized that the boy didn't get the tour of academy yet, "Then after that, someone has to give him a tour!"


"The Training Dreamland." Cementoss gestured at the giant gym as the students entered, "Put short, TDL! This facility of my own devising…" He placed his hands on the ground before he create a giant mount-like pillars, "Here I am able to prepare terrains and training objects personalized for each and every one of you students. Hence…Dreamland."

"If I could ask a question!" Iida raised his hand up, "Why are special moves necessary to obtain a provisional license? Please illuminate us with that context!"

"I'll explain it to you step-by-step." Aizawa sighed with a mumble, "Chill out…"

Naruto stand behind of the class with a good size of distance as his eyes scan the building out of curiously and he just ignore the whole explanation of special moves and why it is important to have one. "I'm pumped up!" An exciting shout catch his attention as the students stretched their limbs out and they walk toward the manmade terrain to start their training, leaving Naruto behind.

"Hey, you should get in there and start come up with a special move." Ectoplasm appeared at his side, jabbing his thumb at the terrain.

"I do not know if my quirks are suitable for special move, neither if I need one." Naruto replied.

"Hmm, they told me that you have multiple quirks." The phantom-like teacher hummed, "Can you list them out for me, just names. I'll stop you if I want to know more about this quirk."

"My current quirks are Telepathy, Zoom, enhanced body, Heal, Berserker, Cat's Claw…" The blonde boy started to list off his quirks until the teacher stop him.

"What are these last three?" Ectoplasm asked curiously.

"Heal allow me to absorb any injuries from the host and my body will regenerate from the injuries." Naruto explained, "But I only can take the wounds within five days and I can't take age-old injury."

"…Do you feel the pain of the injuries once it absorb into your body?" The phantom-like teacher frowned.

"Pain?" The boy tilted his head, "What is pain?"

"…And berserker?" Ectoplasm decided to change the topic, "It sound like it amp up your powers, right?"

"That is correct." Naruto nodded, "But for some reason, I want to attack everyone in sight."

"Ah, hence the name." The phantom-like teacher muttered, that is a double-edge blade and it can't be used in public for many reasons. "…And Cat's Claw? I never heard of that before…"

"Shiretoko Tomoko named it because she said it look like a cat's claw." Naruto activated his claw quirk to show him.

"…Figured…" Ectoplasm deadpanned with a whisper before he clear his throat, "Continue…"

"Weapon Arm, Lock, Thief's Arm and Zero." Naruto finished.

"Ah, I am quite familiar with Weapon Arm." The phantom-like teacher rubbed his chin, "There was a villain who had this a long time ago, it allow you to use any existing weapon but you can only use one at a time, right?" Naruto nodded again, "But I don't know about the last three again…"

"Lock quirk is what it is." Naruto explained again, "It 'lock' all quirks I have to prevent anyone from steal it." Ectoplasm raised his eyebrow behind the mask, that seems to be useless and useful at same time. "Thief's Arm allows me to 'steal' anything and storage it…" Naruto's right arm blackens up as a large rope come out of his shoulders, curling around his upper arm slightly. "Even a quirk."

"Wha…" Ectoplasm's eyes widened.

"But I cannot use the stolen quirk." The boy continued as the phantom release his breath unnoticeable, "I only can transfer the quirk to quirkless one or it will return to the original owner within twenty-four hours if there is no transfer."

"Ah, kinda like Aizawa's eraser quirk." Ectoplasm said thoughtfully, "Is that what you did with the Search quirk?"

"Yes." Naruto answered, "I took it from the creator and give it back to Ragdoll."

"And Zero?" Ectoplasm asked, he notice that Aizawa have been listening in the whole time.

"Zero is my true quirk…" The boy held his hands out as if he was holding something, "The quirk that grants me all quirks that have existed or yet to be existed." The teachers' eyes widened at that.

"A-A-A-Are you serious?" Ectoplasm whispered, "T-T-That mean you can have any quirks you want by bring it out?"

"No." Naruto replied blankly, "Zero is the one that make the decision and they always come at random time…Some can take months or years. It is what give me Lock at first day I was created, the Heal come six months later. I gained Cat's Claw about seven months ago and Thief's Arm formed right before the battle between All Might and the creator."

"I-I-I see…" The phantom-like teacher muttered, seems to be shaken by everything. "…I-It's good thing you decide to change your side on your own free-will…"

"Yes, I wish to protect humans and to find my own purpose." Naruto answered.

'…I-If he was still on their side…' Aizawa have a chilling realization, the heroes wouldn't have a chance to stop this Noumu because one day he will become an Omnipotent being and the casualties will be greater. 'He will have a power to destroy or save the world one day…' The teacher glanced at the boy before he sighs to himself, why can't he have an easy life?! Now he has to make sure that the boy will go down the right path…

"You guys are all really into it, huh?!" All Might's voice spoke from the doorway and the gloomy teacher now knows who to blame for his upcoming hardships, only if he don't pull a lot of damn strings!


It was lunchtime and Naruto sit on a bench under the tree in a secluded place as he stare at the clouds. He can feel some stares from behind and he glance over his shoulders to see several students as they peek at him from the window, some out of curiously or suspicion, mostly suspicion but he pay his attention to the nature once again. After a while, he suddenly hears a startled chirp and he look up to see something fall out before he catches it with his hands without getting out of his seat. It was a fledgling bird and Naruto look up at the tree, spotting the nest with crow and a bunch of fledglings on low branch, before he climb up the tree to put the fledgling back in. The adult bird suddenly push the same fledgling out and the boy catch the baby in midair before he put it back in, only to have the same result.

'…Is it because this one have defect?' Naruto look at the fledgling's right wing, it was very smaller than other wing. The boy carefully climb back down and he look between the nest and the cawing fledgling in his hands. "It is okay." Naruto rubbed the head of the crow lightly with his index finger, "I will take you in like the others." He walks away from the tree.


Jirou spot Naruto outside of the window from the hallway and she frown to herself, she believe that he is up to something no good and she will keep her eyes on him. He'll slip up and she will get him for good, just wait and see!


'Gotta hurry, gotta hurry!' Yanagi Reiko ran outside, she can't believe that she just forget her bento in her classroom and she turn around the corner, only to clash into something hard and she flop down on her rear with a quiet grunt. She rub her sore nose with a mumble as she tried to get up but a hand hold out in front of her face and she look up to see a blonde boy before she realize this person as Naruto from some of her friends and news. "Um, thank…" Reiko said quietly as she took his hand and the boy help her up before she notices a baby crow in his other hand. "…Why do you have a baby bird?"

"I am taking her in because the mother abandoned her." Naruto replied with blank expression, "It is right thing to do, correct?"

Reiko looks up into his unique eyes with a slow blink, "…Yeah, it is…" She barely realizes that she was still holding onto his hand. Little did Naruto know is that she just falls for him at first sight and it will be the first link of the chain of the reaction that will lead him to something.


And that end the second chapter of EN! Like it? Hate it?

Whew! I really crammed whole current manga in two chapters! It's because the whole thing is a prologue! That's right! It is all about Naruto learning what it is to have free will like a human, despite the fact that he is a Noumu, and to be a hero that he truly want. Now we will go into original arcs, don't worry there will be some cannon when the manga add more.

Now we just found out the origin behind Naruto and he's the stillborn son of Ragdoll, who turn out to be alive as a Noumu because of All For One! Yes, I'm confusing too! Plus, he plays a small role in the battle between All For One and All Might! Because of that, All Might decide to pull some strings to bring him into the Yuuei academy so he can have a real future instead of rotting away in prison for a long time! But he will have some hard time with the students because of his past, expect for few. We also know why he is different from other Noumus! He have a soul, 'heart', free-will! Plus we finally found out about his true quirk and it kinda sound very OP…But it's kinda random at same time!

It looks like Naruto just pick up a new habit! I hope it don't end up in some crazy situation…

Salad Udon: He will play a large role in a certain arc.

Naruto's speech will changed in the near future so don't worry about it…He used to think himself as a living weapon, remember? It will take time until he change himself.

What will happen in the next chapter? Will the students get comfortable with Naruto? Will the villain's alliance take their revenge? Will Jirou let go of her anger toward Naruto? What kind of challenges will Naruto face? Whose idea was it to let Salad become a janitor?! Let's find out in the next issue…Eh, I mean, next chapter!

Anyway, I think that's all I can say for now. Thank you for your time to read it.

Please leave reviews and feedback here. The flames will be sending to Bakugou so he can blow them up.
